[WSBARP] Language in deed

[Eric Nelsen]

Huh? I don't know what that would mean. I assume that it is intended to contrast with "an undivided tenant in common interest" but I don't know what a divided interest would look like. Each side gets to occupy 50% of the physical property?

Or maybe this is because they're in an unmarried long-term relationship (committed intimate relationship) and they are trying to make clear they aren't holding as a community-like couple? If that's the case, I don't think the language is sufficient to have any predictable impact.

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBARP] Language in deed

All:

I have been presented with a deed that says this:

"in hand paid, conveys and warrants to "john doe and jane smith, unmarried individuals as tenants in common with division of ownership.'

What say you on the phrase "with division of ownership?"

Thanks.
